virtual memory, possible solution ?

[theo@mailmak.ping.de (Theo Janssen)]

Hi there !

A fews days ago i found a small lib called "VMEM" which includes
"virtual memory stuff" for the ST. PERHAPS ?!?! this library COULD BE
a temporary solution for the MiNT virtual memory Problem.
I didn't tried it out or inspected the sources yet, because i am very busy
at the moment. Maybe the "Kernel-professionals" should have a look at
this stuff and it's possibilities. After a short look into the manual
i can say the following:

advantages:

- does NOT need an MMU. So even 68000 machines should be able to use it.

disadvantages:

- Applications have to be recompiled, cause the lib uses sepcial
  "VM_ALLOC, VM_LOAD, VM_FREE ...." calls

- Manuals and Descriptions only available in german language

But as i said, PERHAPS this is a solution. So please don't hit me
if this stuff is not usable. ;-)

The archive is called VMEM.(ZIP, LZH, ZOO or whatever). At the moment i
cannot remember where i found it, but should be available on some
german FTP-Servers.
If it's necessary i could send the stuff here (apr. 70 kB).


         cheerio Theo
